#politas #election25 shows Tasmania is fucked. An @afl stadium matters more than lifting the most marginalised in the community up. The @TasLiberal and @TasmanianLabor are utterly incapable of standing for good policy. Last one leaving turn out the lights please @suebailey25
Wow. Tasmanian ABC News just ran a story on the 20 million dollar reduction of budget for improvements to the Royal Hobart Hospital Emergency Department. They then crossed to Nick Duigan defending the Government’s choice to do so, speaking from… a stadium. Speechless.

Yesterday was the first anniversary of John Olsen’s death. It was always beyond special performing in front on this monumental work of his, at Sydney Opera House, and how lucky were the patrons to have the performers framed by such?
This is beyond glorious, and the single funniest piece of writing I’ve read. William McInnes: ‘1979, the year my Wendy Sykes perm of love came to grief’ | Life and style | The Guardian theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
Meditate within eternity. Don’t stay in the mind, from Sing Wearing the Sky, by Jake Runestad. Mezzo soprano Gracie Middleton, violin Lucy Carrig, choir JESSA.
Andreas Scholl, upon the death of James Bowman. “At the end of a musical life the biggest success wouldn’t be measured in awards or glorious stage moments, but in the way colleagues, students, family, friends and eventually your audience will remember you.”
I’m so happy my daughter will effectively receive the same free tertiary education I did, thanks to bestowal of the UTas Chancellor’s Merit Scholarship, for a period of five years. It achieves exactly what it’s designed for, which is to keep an amazing student here. Gratitude.
